COMPETENCY GOAL 5: The learner will recognize, determine, and represent patterns and simple mathematical relationships.
Lessons (4)
Uses modular (clock) arithmetic to find patterns in Pascal's Triangle.
Introduces students to modular (clock) arithmetic and its uses in real world problem-solving.
Shows students that number patterns exist in the Pascal's Triangle, and reinforces student's ability to identify patterns.
Students learn to identify a variety of patterns using sequences and tessellations.
Activities (2)
Given a starting time and elapsed time practice finding the ending time. Elapsed Time Two is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Recognize patterns in a series of shapes, numbers, or letters. After determining the pattern, the student fills in the missing pieces. Three levels of difficulty are available.
